Summer in Palma has a very particular way of beginning. Terraces start filling up again, the harbour finds its rhythm, and lunches somehow turn into long afternoons.
And although everyone experiences the city differently, there’s one thing that tends to repeat itself: many good plans end around a table.
If you’re looking for what to do in Palma this summer, here are three simple ways to enjoy the city. Real plans, without too much organisation, that all have something in common: they end by the sea, at Ca n’Eduardo.
1. Walk through Palma’s old town and end up by the harbour
There are days when Palma is best enjoyed without a map.
Walking through the old town, stepping into a few shops, passing by the Cathedral and slowly making your way down towards the sea until you reach the harbour.
In summer, that walk feels different. The light lasts longer, the streets move at another pace and you feel like stopping more often.
And when it’s finally time to eat, most people are looking for the same thing: somewhere calm, with a good view and enough time to enjoy the meal properly.
At Ca n’Eduardo, we’ve spent years watching people finish their walk here. Facing the harbour, sharing seafood in the middle of the table and stretching lunch far longer than expected.
Because some simple plans still work perfectly.
2. A cultural morning followed by a lunch that lasts
Palma in summer is also lived far from the beach.
An exhibition at Es Baluard, a visit to the Cathedral or simply wandering through the city centre can easily become the best plan of the day. And after a morning like that, you want to eat well.
You want a restaurant where the setting matters and where the meal has the time it deserves.
At Ca n’Eduardo, just a few metres from the fish market, the kitchen still revolves around fresh local produce and Mediterranean dishes that make perfect sense in summer: rice dishes, fish, seafood and cold white wine while the harbour keeps moving outside the windows.
3. Start summer properly: terrace, harbour and a good table
You don’t need a special occasion to celebrate the start of summer. Sometimes all it takes is booking a table, sitting on the terrace and letting the afternoon unfold on its own.
The sound of the harbour, the Mediterranean breeze, a paella in the centre of the table and that feeling that nobody is in a hurry to leave.
That’s why, when people look for a restaurant by Palma Harbour, they often end up at Ca n’Eduardo.
Where to eat in Palma this summer
Summer in Palma can be enjoyed in many different ways.
Sometimes it begins with a walk through the city centre. Other times, on a terrace by the harbour, with a cold glass of wine and something to share in the middle of the table.
At Ca n’Eduardo, we’ve spent years watching many of those days end here. No big plans. Just people wanting to eat well, look at the sea and make the after-lunch conversation last a little longer.
And maybe that’s still the best way to enjoy the city.
